Vlad the tiger 'annoyed but alert' after risky op





A 12-year-old tiger at a wildlife park in Yorkshire woke up "annoyed but alert" after
a risky medical procedure, staff have said.

Vlad, an Amur tiger at the park near Doncaster, was unscathed after undergoing
a general anaesthetic to enable staff to X-ray his spine.

The procedure - known as "knock-down" - could have caused Vlad to stop breathing
or hallucinate, Kim Wilkins, carnivore team leader at Yorkshire Wildlife Park, said.

Vlad would be given a treat such as a horse leg once the effects of the anaesthetic
had worn off "if he's lucky", Ms Wilkins said.

Staff at the park said they had previously noticed a curve in Vlad's spine, causing
him discomfort and an "odd gait" when he walked.

As a result, he was prescribed painkillers, which helped, and was being observed
daily to check his mobility and behaviour, they said.

However, Ms Wilkins said it was necessary for Vlad to have an X-ray once a year
to monitor his condition, along with blood tests to check his liver and kidney
function.

Initial indications from Wednesday's procedure were that there was no major
change to Vlad's condition and he was recovering well from the anaesthetic.

"Tiger knock-downs are always heart-in-the-throat situations," Ms Wilkins said.

"We all breathed a huge sigh of relief when he sat up, looking mildly annoyed
but alert."

Ms Wilkins said it was not known what had caused the condition, but Vlad's cubs
were also being observed in case they developed the same issues as they got
older.
